Introduction
You can select the Product activity log option from the Start a Service Tool display. It
allows you to display or print system, Licensed Internal Code, software
components, subsystem, and I/O device data that has been logged. It also provides
data summaries, allows data to be sorted, displays reference code descriptions, and
allows you to work with removable media statistics.
Use the options and function keys to view the log online. Function keys, such as
the Alternate view key, allow you to page through the various log fields. For more
information on the product activity log options and function keys, see “Options
and function keys” on page 102. If a printer is available, you can create a printout
of the product activity log (see Figure 48 on page 110).
